non, acting for himself and others, made APP
plication to-day to the courts for the APP
pointment Of receiver for the Equitable
Gas company, the principal owners Of which

chased controlling interest in the company,

it as an infraction Of the law of the state of
Maryland for corporation of the state to

out single director being citizen of the
state Of Maryland, the law requiring ma
jority of them to be citizens Of the state
where the corporation is chartered.
